Guests: Allen Roskoff and Robert Dennison

September 2, 2014

A coalition of Democratic clubs, state lawmakers, candidates and even celebrities plan to hold a vigil outside the MountKisco home of Governor Cuomo and his girlfriend Sandra Lee. It’s an effort to push Cuomo to exercise his power of clemency. We first reported about the event last week, which almost immediately resulted in several phone calls and emails from lawmakers and candidates wanting to clarify that they would not be attending. Allen Roskoff, president of the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, and Robert Dennison, former chairman of the state Division of Parole under George Pataki, joined us to discuss.
